I still miss the sound of your voice, the wisdom in your advice, the stories of your life and just being in your presence. You treated me like a daughter, I still miss you just as much today as I did the day you died. I just miss you. Rest in peace my dear Jill may we meet again soon in the new heavenly home where there's no more nights, no more pain, no more tears never crying again. I love you mom

Dear Jill can see the love of so many people...you will be remembered for many many years.I was one of her friends from Alice Springs days such good fun memories of those few years. My first thought was the words of Jesus ..."Well done good and faithful servant.......Her inclusive love for all and her Lord ...a testimony to the Joy and sure Hope of her relationship relationship with Jesus. We will meet again Jill ....Dragon....well you called me that.

Sympathy to Lesley and families. July 22nd little did I know when I texted Jill - in part - "Thought of you today when I was watching the Aussies playing softball at the Olympics and wondered if you were doing the same?" Whilst watching it brought back fond memories of the good old days in Alice during the 1960s. The word goodness would encompass the person I knew, and I will miss you. Vale Jill from Patricia and Lance

Her dedication to her music & all she believed in was a fine example. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Jill will be making the keyboard up there, talk to all who have gone before her. She was so brave to the end, never complaining. No more suffering. Fond memories, From Lynda and Bill King.

Our condolences to Jill’s family, our mother Theresa met Jill when we moved to Swan Hill around 1975 and they became great friends.The Donaczy family have so many special memories of the days Jill would support our education during our primary school days when we went central, she would pick up us kids after school and take us every Thursday’s to the town library to help us with our homework, her support with our education didn’t stop there it continued in our Tech days too. Jill would invite us into her home for a end of year break up for tea, they were so fun the best days. We are so grateful what Jill did for us what a amazing lady we thank you for your dedication supporting our education not only ours for what you did supporting the wider Koori community for all those years, we have so much respect for you. Jill you will be sadly missed and loved by all of the Donaczy family RIP Jill ❤️❤️❤️

Jill's musical and humanitarian involvement in our community will be long remembered. She gave freely her talents and was always modest about her contribution which was really significant and appreciated by those who she helped. . Vale Jill.
